After the image is uploaded (and not before) you can use inplace editing to crop/rotate the image as required:

Note:

The in-place editor uses the original size and aspect ratio of the image when editing. You can also specify height and width properties. Any size and aspect ratio restrictions defined in the properties are applied when you save your edit changes.

Depending on your instance, minimum and maximum restrictions may also be imposed by the design of the page; these are developed during project implementation.

Several additional options are available in the full-screen editing mode; for example, map and zoom:

In addition, this component lets you use context fields and personalization blocks available from Adobe Campaign; also see Inserting Personalization.

The selection of icons allow you to format your text, including font characteristics, alignment, links, lists and indentation. The functionality is basically the same in both UIs, although the look-and-feel is different:

When finished adding text/personalization, select the check mark to save your changes (or x to cancel). See Inplace editing for more information.

What personalization fields are available depends on what Adobe Campaign template your newsletter is linked to.

After you select a persona from ContextHub, the personalization fields are automatically replaced by data from the selected profile.

Only the fields defined in the nms:seedMember schema or one of its extensions are taken into account. The attributes of the tables linked to nms:seedMember are not available.
